Wine and Song VI

Number six in my current series featuring Wine and Song seems to have taken ages. For one thing it is a larger work on a Fredrix Watercolour Canvas, a surface that I have only used a couple of times before. I am thinking that I dont really like using this surface even though I am totally happy with this finished work. Building up any kind of glazing is a mammoth task as it is so easy to lift off the pigment already there. If I used this canvas more often perhaps I would work out its nuances but you know me I move on and flit from one surface type to another. Keeps me on my toes at least! This is an Olde Worlde look using a very old song The Chorister and my vintage look for this combines collage, watercolour,white gouache and inks. Next step - varnish

Loving this mixed media vintage look Lorraine. The ephemera is fabulous. I like how you tied it all together with the vines. Fab colours too. I am exploring this style at the minute too but only for fun and just for me. Wishing you success with your lovely wine series.

It is a great mix of images and very unique. I love the vintage look but there is still a modern twist. I love each new piece you add to this series Lorraine! Thanks for the info about the surface, I've never heard of it.

Lorraine - this is absolutely beautiful...your series of these is just such a delight for the eyes. Too there is something gorgeous about purples and greens together. This is a favorite combination of colors for me. So glad you are doing these. Hope you have a great week. Thanks too for taking time to visit my garden. Always so glad when you stop by.
